CHAPTER SIXTEEN

There is something about a proximity to death that sometimes heightens one's own sensual awareness of the joy of living. I'm no psychologist so I can't explain it, I just know that it's true because I have seen it over and over again and I have experienced it myself. You get that same effect from danger sometimes, too, like when you've just narrowly escaped death yourself, or during a crackling storm. Maybe it's fear-driven, I don't know, maybe it's just the reminder that life can be brief and its joys fleeting. But I think athletes experience it too, I know that cops do—routinely—and maybe that is why war and love so often go together.

Whatever, Lila and I had a hell of a go at each other at Arrowhead that afternoon. She attacked me with the same kind of hunger I'd shown the steak sandwich earlier, and God knows I love to be loved by a high-spirited woman. Surely her first orgasm was heard all the way down in the lobby of the main building, although the cabin was situated

at least fifty yards up the hill. After that explosion, it was a continuing series of ecstatic waves in rhythmic sequence, punctuated by muffled yelps into my shoulder at periodic crests, then starting all over again without a pause—on and on into the sunset, until finally she gasped, "Please... Joe... that's enough for now. God, I...think I've broken something."

She hadn't, but I could understand how it could feel that way. I've always envied women their multiple orgasms. With guys, you know, twice is nice and three make you feel like Superman, but many women have a different mechanism. Get it wound up properly and it seems as though it could run on forever.

We had started in the hot tub and progressed to the bed, tried several different chairs and the couch, ended up on a thick, furry rug in front of the fireplace. Myself, I felt like I was broken all over and I'd even bled a little from teeth-marks in the shoulder. I guess we both briefly fell asleep in each other's arms on the floor because I did not remember it getting dark in there. The logs in the fireplace had been reduced to glowing coals, and that was all the light there was in the cabin when I came out of it. Lila stirred against me immediately and murmured, "You wanta try that one more time. Chief?"

I groaned in mock horror and suggested, "Check with my secretary. I might have a date open next month."

She laughed and snuggled, said, "I was kidding. I probably won't be walking 'til next month."

"That's what you get for fraternizing," I told her.

"Yeah. I changed my mind. Fraternizing can be nice." She giggled. "Am I still Lila Boobs?"

I sighed, told her, "That doesn't even begin to tell the tale. Let's see... what about Lila Rapture?"

She punched me in the ribs with a smooth knee and said, "Okay... Joe Cock."

I yelled, "Hey! Let's show
